Why content creation is so important?

You may be asking yourself, 'Why should I start creating content?' Or thinking, 'So many people are already making content, whether through videos or blogs.' But if that's what you have in mind, let me tell you that you're missing the big picture. Here's why…

Simple Definition:

For a moment, forget the term 'content creation'. Whether you're an online worker or in any profession, all you need to do is start sharing your:

• Knowledge
• Experience
• Learnings
• Thoughts
• Daily work
• Challenges
• Tips & Advice

And you can choose whichever medium suits you best—whether it's text content or video content or both on social media platforms.

Your Wrong Belief (Why Your Opinion Matters):

Question: Why should I start creating content when so many people in my field are already doing it?

My Answer: Like fingerprints, each person's thought process is different—everyone has a unique thought process and approach to understanding things. Let me explain with an example:

You go to YouTube or a blog to learn about a specific topic. After watching a video or reading a blog post, you're still not satisfied—you either need more information or you didn't fully understand the explanation. What will you do next? Naturally, you will find more videos or blog posts on the same topic.

Now, let me ask you: why didn’t you get enough knowledge from the first person's content? Why didn't you like the content or didn't get the information you needed? Why did you feel the need to look for other content creators content?

I hope you got your answer.. Still don't understand?

The answer is simple: the way the content creator explains things doesn't match the way you understand them. You need to hear it from someone who thinks and explain differently.

Now, apply this to yourself. Let's assume you want to teach React JS, but many people are already doing it. Why would anyone read your blog or watch your video? Because your ideas, your teaching style, your explaining style are unique, your experience, your personality. People trust your voice and your perspective may align with someone else's thought process. This is the whole story.
